make sure the working conditions of the device (operat-
ing temperature, operating humidity, etc.) are in the limits
indicated; look at chapter “TECHNICAL DATA”

-

do not install the device close to heating sources (heat-
ers, hot air ducts, etc.), devices having big magnetos
(big speakers, etc.), locations subject to direct sunlight,
rain, humidity, dust, mechanical vibrations or bumps

-

any metal parts in proximity of the control module must
be at a distance such that they do not compromise the
safety distances

-

according to the safety legislation, the protection against
possible contacts with the electrical parts must be en-
sured by a correct installation of the device; all the parts
which ensure the protection must be fixed so that you
can not remove them if not by using a tool.

Preliminary information

There are the following operating status:
-

status “off” (the device is not powered)

-

status “stand-by” (the device is powered but it is switched

During status “on”:
-

the 1 digit display will be switched off

-

the 3 digits display:
-

will show the blast chilling cutoff temperature if a
temperature controlled blast chilling has been
selected or the blast freezing cutoff temperature
if a temperature controlled blast freezing has been
selected

-

will show the blast chilling duration if a time con-
trolled blast chilling has been selected or the blast
freezing duration if a time controlled blast freez-
ing has been selected

-

the 4 digits display:
-

will show the blast chilling working setpoint if a
temperature controlled blast chilling has been
selected or the blast freezing working setpoint if
a temperature controlled blast freezing has been
selected

-

will be switched off if a time controlled blast chill-
ing or a time controlled blast freezing has been
selected.

During status “run”:
-

the 1 digit display will show the program number if
one is running

-

the 3 digits display:
-

will show the temperature read by the needle
probe if a temperature controlled blast chilling or
a temperature controlled blast freezing is running

-

will show the count down of the blast chilling du-
ration if a time controlled blast chilling is running
or the count down of the blast freezing duration if
a time controlled blast freezing is running

-
